mr higin botham in his letter welcomed tie sup pert of her or any other public-spirited person who would aid him m solvirg a difficult problem and relieve him fiom the predicament of being lone prosecutor of mrs palmer old he approve of your suggestion that legal proceedings should be instituted to require a proper disposition of the fund now m the possession of mrs palmer mrs bowen was asked i do not know that i emphasized such a suggestion said mrs bowen he sold the disposition of the fund was a matter of public moment and that cer tainly he approved of any plan that would require a public accounting of a public fund i do not recall that he mentioned legal proceedings at all but certainly the tone of his letter agreed that an ac counting should lie demanded and that such proceedings should be instituted as would bring about a clear and perfect understanding of how this fund is to be disbursed and that the whole matter should be publicly sifted it was your idea that legal proceed ings should be commenced if other means failed was it not - ' mrs bowen was i asked i i think au accounting is due the j public and i think the public is de j termined that there shall

prosecutor of mrs palmer old he approve of your suggestion that legal proceedings should be instituted to require a proper disposition of the fund now m the possession of mrs palmer mrs bowen was asked i do not know that i emphasized such a suggestion said mrs bowen he sold the disposition of the fund was a matter of public moment and that cer tainly he approved of any plan that would require a public accounting of a public fund i do not recall that he mentioned legal proceedings at all but certainly the tone of his letter agreed that an ac counting should lie demanded and that such proceedings should be instituted as would bring about a clear and perfect understanding of how this fund is to be disbursed and that the whole matter should be publicly sifted it was your idea that legal proceed ings should be commenced if other means failed was it not - ' mrs bowen was i asked i i think au accounting is due the j public and i think the public is de j termined that there shall be an account ing mr higinbotham approves my sug gestion that several persons get together to see what they can do to get mrs palmer to tell all about the fund glad to have a backer did mr higinbotham
